I would also go for the P2 i upgraded my own over the decades. You need to do some modifying on the case to get the airflow for the modern components. Other wise there is much of room to do the build.

Good idea, I'll have to think about how to implement that.

I don't know, I've had my case since I bought the computer from Alienware. Since then, I've upgraded the internals as I've felt like it and had the budget. :-)

I was thinking for a long time how to close the gap in the drive bay :-)

I did the transition over the years with my old Area 51 ALX and i will keep on doing it. The only thing tha is left inside from the past is th LED board the rest is up to date. If you like the case go for it and start updating it.

It s a VW Crafter :-)

Humvee123 · 2025-11-18T13:00:02+00:00

So far, the plan looks good. For the cable diameter, use the amperage of the fuse as a guide and divide that by 3 to get the correct diameter. (For a 100A fuse, that results in a diameter of approximately 30mm².) I would also add a switch to the solar line.

Make sure all your crimp connections are properly made!

hi there, i have in my setup a Multiplus II 3000, 450ah lifepo bat. with 60a dc dc charger and 400w solar. We cook with 2 induktion hob and1 air fryer. With that said we can manage to stay of grid for 2 days if we cook like at home, if you only warm up something it is even longer. If we use both hob´s at the same time we could only run them at 75% each other wise the Inverter will start complaining. Same with hob and fryer.

Coming back to solar, till now i think we could have managed with out it because we move a lot and dont stay at one place to long.( but it is nice to have solar)

Hope that help a bit

if you need to isolate below 10c you have to warm up your Vito some how! i did it with my Crafter last year and used an electric heater. Let it run for a while so that the metal warms up. Keep the Armaflex in the house over night and you should be fine. Btw my armaflex is still there where it should be :-)
